After posting my resume on Monster.com, I was contacted by Epic and encouraged to apply for the Project Manager position. I filled out their extensive online application and two days later, I was contacted again about a phone interview. The project manager I spoke with there was very friendly and relaxed, so the phone interview itself is pretty easy-going. A week later, they sent me an e-mail about scheduling a skills assessment. If you're reasonably good at problem-solving, particularly word problems, you'll be fine. You're given plenty of time, and the math aspect isn't very challenging, especially as they let you have a calculator. Two weeks later, I was invited for an in-person interview for a Project Manager and a Technical Writer position. The interview day is packed with activities, so you don't really have much time to relax. The campus itself is gorgeous, and everyone I met there seemed excited to be working there. For me, it came down to two factors: age and salary. I'm not fresh out of college, so my expectations for work/life balance and compensation are fairly high. They pay fairly well, but I believe my reluctance to work 60-70 hours a week and travel 3 out of 4 weeks in a month (as many of the project managers do) made it clear that I was not entirely in love with the job. Overall, a positive experience, and this a great place for those of you looking to just enter the workforce. Most stay there 2-3 years, but there were plenty of people there who had stayed with the company for 5 or more.
